Best groupmember,

text to rotate 90 degrees. Any tips?

Use an image.

I do not want to use an image, I am generating it from a database.

<img src="verticaltext.png" width="50" height="100"
alt="your_text_here">

Use one of the css image replacement techniques if the text *must* be
indexed by badly broken search engines such as Google.

Not possible with html or current css, you could use SVG (which are text
files), but client support is poor.

Alternatively there are ways to generate images on the fly.

Do you mean to use the GD-lib and create the images and then just rotate
them?

I did this for a while using ImageMagick to display a faint copy of the
page's title text vertically in the background of each page.

It was quite a nice effect, but it took a lot of CPU. Of course, that
could be eliminated by caching the images, which I hadn't bothered to do
as I was only playing about.

or use php ... e.g.:

http://html.janfaerber.com/php/string_vertical.php

The script:

<?php
$im=ImageCreate (90,20);
$background_color=ImageColorAllocate($im,255,255,2 55);
$text_color=ImageColorAllocate ($im,233,14,91);
ImageString($im,1,5,5,"Hello World!",$text_color);
ImagePNG ($im, "hehe.png");
$im2 = imagerotate ($im, 90, 0);
ImagePNG($im2,"pic.png");
ImageDestroy($im);
ImageDestroy($im2);
?>

<img src="pic.png" border=0>
<img src="hehe.png" border=0>
<img src="pic.png" border=0>
<img src="hehe.png" border=0>
